Falling for the Prodigal Son by Julia Gabriel

What could be more embarrassing than having slept with your boss ...

All Sterling Matthew wants is to get his family's inn back on sound financial footing—and then leave sleepy St. Caroline for good. He expected the inn's staff to resist the business changes he has to make. What he didn't expect was to find skinny, gawky Lucy Wyndham all grown up.

... when you both were teenagers?

For years, Lucy wondered whether she'd ever catch another glimpse of the tall, quiet boy she'd crushed on at the Chesapeake Inn's summer camp. Now he's her boss—and determined to get rid of the camp to improve the inn's bottom line. But Lucy is just as determined to save the camp, even if the price is her job ... and her heart.

Falling for the Prodigal Son released

My new contemporary romance, Falling for the Prodigal Son, has been released as an ebook.

New book coming in March

What could be more embarrassing than having slept with your boss ... when you both were teenagers?

Falling for the Prodigal Son

Lucy Wyndham has been the marketing director at the upscale Chesapeake Inn for the past five years, ever since her husband unceremoniously left her on the eve of their anniversary. She's mended her broken heart and built a life for herself in St. Caroline, with a job she adores and friends who support her—including the owners of the Inn, John and Sarah Matthew. But now John Matthew is ailing and his playboy son, Sterling, has been called home from Europe to take over the family business. To make matters worse, Lucy lost her virginity as a teenager to none other than Sterling Matthew ...

You guys are the best! Treat yourself to a free story today, on me.

A big heartfelt Thank You to everyone who helped make the release of Cupcakes & Chardonnay a success last week! If I could send you all a cupcake and a bottle of bubbly, I would!

Instead, I've made my short erotic romance, Feral, a free ebook on Amazon today and tomorrow. http://amzn.to/XkEzJl

When park ranger intern Julianne sets off by herself on a hike deep into the Pacific rainforest, she encounters a surprising man who is mysterious, beautiful ... and untamed. "Feral" is a darkly erotic short tale of wild love and wilder regret.

This is a short story, a little different from the usual romance short story. It's (ahem) spicier than Cupcakes & Chardonnay so consider yourself warned! It's not a paranormal but if you like sexy, mysterious "creatures," you might like Feral.

http://amzn.to/XkEzJl

My treat today and tomorrow! Hope you like it!

Happy Valentine's Day

My parents were married on Valentine's Day. How romantic is that? My husband and I eloped on Feb. 7 -- I can't remember now why we didn't wait seven more days. Anyway!

In honor of Valentine's Day, my new release Cupcakes & Chardonnay is free on Amazon -- but just for today! Tomorrow the price goes back up to the regular $3.82. Cupcakes & Chardonnay has all the things I like best in a romance -- an alpha male, a successful businesswoman, an arranged marriage, cupcakes, wine and beautiful settings (San Francisco, Napa).
